Is the second generation of IVF expensive?
The development of IVF technology has made many infertile couples realize their dreams. However, the cost of IVF second generation has always been the focus of attention. Is the cost of IVF II expensive? This article will elaborate from four aspects: hospital selection, operation costs, drug costs and follow-up care costs, to help readers better understand the situation of IVF second-generation costs.
1. Hospital selection
The cost of IVF second-generation surgery will be affected by different hospitals, so it is very important to choose the appropriate hospital. High level hospitals in first tier cities generally have more advanced equipment and more professional medical teams, so the cost is relatively high. Taking Peking Union Medical College Hospital as an example, the cost of the second generation of IVF babies is usually between 150000 and 250000 yuan, while the cost of hospitals in second tier cities, such as Chengdu Ren'ai Hospital, is relatively low, about 100000 to 200000 yuan.
In addition, some reputable and experienced hospitals may charge higher fees. For example, the second generation IVF surgery in Peking University Third Hospital is relatively expensive, but it has rich clinical experience and high success rate.
Therefore, when choosing a hospital, we need to consider not only the cost, but also the equipment of the hospital and the professional level of the medical team.
2. Operation expenses
The cost of IVF second generation operation mainly includes gynecological operation cost, embryo culture cost and embryo transfer cost. Gynecological operation cost is the most important part of the whole operation process, including ovarian stimulation, ovarian collection, egg retrieval and other links, with high costs. The cost of embryo culture includes the cost of embryo culture and freezing, which is relatively low. The cost of embryo transfer is the cost of transferring embryos into the uterus, which is usually more expensive.
The specific operation costs will also be affected by personal conditions, such as the drug costs for ovarian stimulation, the treatment costs for polycystic ovary syndrome, etc. Therefore, the operation cost is an important part of the second generation of IVF costs, which should be budgeted and selected according to their own conditions.
3. Drug expenses
In the process of IVF second-generation surgery, the drug costs can not be ignored. Ovarian stimulation drugs are the key step of the second generation of IVF, and their costs are high. Different drug brands and ways of use will lead to differences in drug costs.
For the commonly used ovulation promoting drugs, the price of domestic drugs is relatively low, but there may be differences in quality and efficacy. The price of imported drugs is higher, but their quality and efficacy are more guaranteed. Therefore, when selecting drugs, we need to consider the balance between the quality and price of drugs.
4. Follow up care costs
After the second generation of IVF operation, certain follow-up care, including observation and examination, is needed. This process may require multiple blood tests, ultrasonic tests, etc., and the cost is low. If complications occur or treatment is needed, the cost of follow-up care may increase accordingly.
In addition, after the success of the second generation IVF operation, embryo transfer, pregnancy monitoring, prenatal examination and other processes are also required. Medical expenses in these processes also need to be taken into account.
Summary
To sum up, the cost of the second generation of IVF depends on factors such as hospital selection, surgery costs, drug costs and follow-up care costs. There are cost differences between different hospitals, and the operation costs and drug costs vary according to individual circumstances. Therefore, the evaluation and selection of IVF second-generation costs should be based on their own conditions and economic ability to make reasonable decisions.
